My goal is to get a gaming desktop put together that will run the newest games for the next few years. After researching the parts people recommended I came up with this list. If you think you know a better part for about the same price please let me know it's name and how its better. Thanks for looking and thanks for any help. (I already have a mouse and keyboard and all that)
Country of Origin: I'm from the bowels of Hell, but I currently live in the USA
Budget: Something around $800- $1200 USD
SLI/Crossfire and Overclocking: No
CPU:Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($189.99 @ Microcenter)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 76.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($24.98 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (59.99 @ Newegg)
Storage:Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($99.00 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: MSI 280X Gaming 3G Video Card (359.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case ($51.52 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply:
OS: Windows 95 or Windows 7, I haven't decided.
Total: $836 but that's without power supply
I left power supply blank Because I don't know what to get. I was hoping you guys could help me figure that out. I also have a few questions.
Is there a way to tell if all the parts of a build are compatible with each other?
When looking up these pieces I noticed many had a few reviews saying that after a few months the part stopped working. Is it normal for all parts to have a few bad ones, or am I just looking at crap parts?
Should I just toss my build and go with this one I found in a sticky thread, which I'm guessing is made by Zared 619?
